E3 2018

[probablyoliver]

Confirmed: Ubisoft is still bonkers.

I'd take another Watch Dogs game, but The Crew 2 is my main focus for Ubisoft and I've already played the closed beta so there's not a whole lot for me to be surprised with.

This intro is amazing though, and likely untoppable by any of the announcements.

[GoGo Yubari]

god bless Ubisoft, the only games company that remembers what E3 is supposed to be all about.

Skyrim Very Special edition is actually real and not just a joke apparently, just installed it on my Alexa.

Finally! Gameplay. I was figuring Beyond Good and Evil was just going to be a yearly episodic thing before that.

[The Lusophone]

E3 is gaming's Eurovision. I love it.

[probablyoliver]

Ubisoft always put on a fun show. Beyond Good and Evil looks excellent but yeah, that's a few years off still.

But fuck it, Ubi are fun. I think they're my favourite major 3rd party.

FUCK YES TRIALS GUY!

Hit Record has been big on paying contributors for their work in the past, so that's a cool addition if it remains the same for BGE2.

Oh, okay, that was absolutely my biggest question about that part of it. That's good to know since it wasn't addressed at all on stage.

also love this Trials portion, exactly the type of Ubisoft pageantry I love.

The more I see of it the more I'm totally sold on Division 2.

Ubi are fucking killing it.

All year 1 DLC for Division 2 will be free.

Also 8 man raids.

Get hyped son.

The lack of an update on the FF7 remake is pretty ridiculous.  It was announced in 2015, they should be able to tell us something by now.

You'd think so, but there's been a lot of turmoil with its development. They originally enlisted an outside studio to develop it, but they moved it back in-house about a year ago. Only a couple of months ago, they were advertising for major positions, like level designers, which doesn't suggest that it's far along.

The fact that they publicly announced Tetsuya Nomura as the director before they'd even told him about it shows that they announced the game way before it was ready, but that's the Square Enix way.

shit, I completely forgot about the creepy Elijah Wood thing from last year.

[Bobfoc]

This is a VR thing, isn't it?

Oh, Ubisoft worked out how to make female avatars.
